Oops! I put text txt files on Kobo Reader
Oops! I put text txt files on my Kobo Reader.
All right, I did it on purpose. I was hoping they'd work anyway, but they don't... I deleted them but it seems the titles of each book are still in the Menu... Anyone know how to delete titles? |

...under Menu > Documents. For example, Book.txt is the title, but won't load, because I deleted it, yet the title remains behind...

Text files work fine on the Kobo, but you have to create a folder called Documents on the Kobo main memory and then put your .txt files there. You can also drop in .jpg files and it will display those too!

It hasn't updated. I still have version 1.4 (Jun 27, 2010). Is there some other desktop software I should have? I bought it from Border's.

I have the first Kobo reader, non-wireless, if that helps figure out what to do.
The Sticky Installation Instructions for Kobo-1, Release 1.8.1 doesn't seem to have any links to a firmware update that I can find in it. |

I appreciate your help. I took your advice and installed the Kobo Desktop on my computer from their website. The Control+Shift+U on my PC doesn't work because I don't have the 1.8 version, but the original 1.4, so nothing happens and it isn't automatically updating.
I'm kind of stuck. Not sure what to do... open to all suggestions! |

For some reason, after about 20 minutes or so, the update option appeared and everything seems to have gone fine. Thanks for your help!
